Second hand surveillance camera with a carefully selected lens.  You
want the ones with removable lenses, a telephoto lens, etc.  The one I
use is 24vac or 12vdc (I picked the 12vdc), and selected a lens that
gave me enough distance between the board and lens, and enough
magnification.  

Look for them surplus, hamfest, or the like.
